Years of tinkering and refinement culminate in the M10™ Anorak, our ultralight 3-layer alpine shell jacket, representing the optimal balance of minimalist design and protection essential for the most critical high alpine objectives.

For climbers obsessed with shaving grams and streamlining their systems, our M10™ Anorak embodies the ethos of single-push perfection—when efficiency matters and actions have consequence, you don’t care if a pullover musses your hair. We took our most minimal alpine shell and honed it even further, with a trim half-zip silhouette that won’t pooch in the belly and ensures you can see every dime edge and verglas smear (thus negating excuse #43: But I couldn’t see my feet!). Its engineered pattern eliminates seams from the shoulders and back panel, reducing points of failure and enhancing the modest stretch of the fabric. The anorak is built with an ultralight, 3-layer, H2No™ Performance Standard waterproof/breathable nylon ripstop with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Ultrasonic-welded seams are reinforced with narrow seam tape for superlow bulk, and the helmet-compatible hood with laminated visor and single-pull adjustment rolls down and stows with a simplified cord-and-hook design. The exterior left-chest pocket closes with a coated, watertight zipper, and the jacket self-stuffs into its chest pocket (with carabiner clip-in loop). Ultraminimal cuffs seal out weather, and a single-pull drawcord cinches the hem.

Features

H2No™ Performance Standard shell is built with ultralight, 3-layer, waterproof/breathable nylon ripstop with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish

Water Resistant

DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Weatherproof

3-layer H2No™ Performance Standard fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable by virtue of an advanced combination of elements: a water-repellent shell fabric and a waterproof/breathable membrane bonded with an ultralight knit backer. The entire fabric package is highly packable and designed for prolonged use in extreme weather.

All products bearing the H2No™ mark have been vigorously tested for durability in our 24 Killer Wash.
